Sabre Sickle Short Case fans (VSC)

SABRE Sickle bladed fans are the latest addition to the Vent-Axia range offering improved pressure characteristics over axial units and lower sound levels. The advanced blade design and purpose built motor ensure excellent reliability and speed control.

Construction

The Black Sabre range share the same case lengths as the EUROSERIES Cased axial range making them fully interchangeable and total compatibility with the full range of Vent-Axia Accessories. The strong and compact short case is constructed from rolled steel plate, and protected with a tough, epoxy paint finish. Casing dimensions are to DIN 24151 and flange dimensions are to ISO 6580. Manufacture is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001. The compact motor/impeller unit is robustly supported within the casing by electro welded and epoxy coated steel rod mounting supports for ease of installation and service access. Suitable for all weather outdoor environments.

Impellers

The motors and impellers are factory matched, statically and dynamically balanced to ISO 1940, part 1Quality Class G.6.3.

Motors

The external rotor motors are specifically designed and styled for this range of fan. Ball bearings are greased for life. Sizes 315 – 710 are protected to IP54, against dust and moisture complying with BS EN 60529. They have ribbed aluminium body castings for efficient cooling with Motor insulation to Class ‘F’ (from -40°C to + 70°C). Speed controlled sizes 450 to 710 6 & 8 pole motors are only suitable for operating temperatures of up to 40’C.

Electrical

The Sabre range is available for either single phase 220-240V 50 Hz capacitor start and run or three phase 380-415V 50Hz. Motors are fitted with Thermal Overload Protection which should be wired into all controller circuits and into starter contactors to prevent motor damage due to overloading / overheating. All units are suitable for speed control by either electronic, voltage reduction or frequency inverters.

Forms of Running

Cased mounted fans (ex-stock) are supplied for extract use (Form ‘B’ running).

Terminal Box

An IP54 terminal box is supplied with all models with M20 x 1.5mm gland entry offering protection against dust and water.

Performance

The fan performance, is in accordance with tests to ISO 5801.

Sound Levels

Fan sound levels, measured in a reverberant chamber in accordance with ISO 3744 Part 1. Published dB(A) figures are free field sound pressure levels at 3m with spherical propagation at a reference level of 2 x 10-5Pa (20 micro-Pascal). The sound power level spectra figures are dB with a reference level of 10-12 Watts (1 pico-watt). To ensure minimum noise levels during speed control, an auto transformer speed control is recommended.
